Hey, maybe it’s about time we actually talked about what’s going on in this league that we ostensibly follow.

Ep 96: Oh God, Not Another Very Special F***ing Episode of Hand Free Football.

Hey guys! Been too long, I tell you. Apologize for the delay in release of this episode. We had some technical difficulties to overcome. Luckily, we didn’t lose the entire show which is what we first thought happened. And that’s a good thing because this week we were joined by Devon from 253 Defiance to […]

Ep 95: Esse Quam Videri

March 13, 2019 04:48 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

So let’s talk about Nazis! This week, Carol and […]
